Oh I'm sorry, Did I Break Your Conversation........Well Allow Me A Movie Thread by S&T

[TXZ]

I'm open to any genre, director, year, etc. But I'd really appreciate some newer movies though (within the last ten years). I saw Mud, Rush, and The Master last week, all were really good.

Just a couple side notes: I've seen every Tarantino film, every Kubrick after Dr. Strangelove, nearly every Scorsece, and most of Spike's catalog.

I think you'd be into Robert Altman, who, among other things, was a huge influence on PT Anderson. I've only seen five of his flicks, but I'd recommend them all to get you started into his oeuvre: McCabe & Mrs. Miller, Nashville, 3 Women, The Player, Short Cuts.

Terrence Malick is another guy I'd recommend, and you might as well see everything he's done since he's only made, like, six films in his life.

Humphrey Bogart was in some great films if you don't mind black and white. The Big Sleep is one of my favorites. The Maltese Falcon, The Treasure of the Sierra Madre. Casablanca obviously.

A really underrated Bogart film is In a Lonely Place (directed by Nicholas Ray), and many critics consider Bogie's starring role in it to be his career-best performance.

Just finish watching Disconnect and it was an amazing movie. Love the camera angles, how everyone stories came together, and the different outlook on people lives. How particular events effects people to not read the book by the cover.

Going to get some studying in then check out Fruitvale Station, It's Kind of a Funny Story, or Lone Survivor.

Anyone seen The Monuments Men? I'm interested in seeing why it hasn't gotten good reviews. The cast is stellar.

Will be watching Disconnect tonight.

Finish watching Fruitvale Station and got a dude in his emotion. The first five minutes of the movie had me like

. This is another movie about life and things can change so quick. The main dude Oscar was out there in Oakland trying to change his life around for the better good for his family. And could see the love he had through the vision of the director. 

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

Police be wilding on the real especially with the cop who shot him only getting 2 years but still only had to do 11 months. Things escalated too quick at the end of the movie on New Years. Feel sorry for his girl, daughter, and mom. Just can image what was going though their heads when they found out his was shot. Mom thinking I shouldn't have let him drive and his girl thinking maybe we should have stayed home this New Years Eve like Oscar suggested. 

All and all this was another great movie just back to back realness. Not as bad as the day I seen Blue Valentine and The Company Men. Had me like damn 

. I need to make another trip out to the Bay tho.

Micheal B Jordan did his thing in the movie and became a fan of his in the movie  Chronicle.  Looking forward to some more of his work.

For film lovers out there, a great film about the making of film.

Side By Side (2012).

It's a documentary narrated by Keanu Reeves about film creation. EXCELLENT watch.

[Nawzlew]

About a quarter through Disconnect. My god this movie is amazing.

Just finished. Wow .. Just wonderful acting throughout. Nice to see Skarsgard in this film, really liked what he did in Generation Kill.

I didn't even hear about this movie til someone posted it's title a couple days ago.

Makes me wonder what films I've missed out on

 

[suberzat1]

I been meaning to watch Into The Wild for a while now

Damn @iYen  you have three pages of movies to watch. I said F looking at the second and third page.

 

[CP1708]

Into the Wild was so incredible. Movie stuck with me for days, hope you like it man.


So Primetime asked me somethin the other day that blew me away. Scorsese is known for showing his leading lady blondes in white in their first appearance on screen. Cybill Shepard in Taxi Driver, Sharon Stone in Casino, Cathy Moriarty in Raging Bull. He does it to show them as Angelic to the leading man, their true loves, etc etc.

In Wolf of Wall Street, he had a fantastic leading Blonde, a bombshell. But he did not show her in all white.


In fact, none of the women in Jordan Balfour's life appear in all white.


What does?

His "white" Ferrari that he had to change color's in the opening scene.
His yacht
His drugs.


His lifestyle. His one true love.

Money.


Y'all buyin it? Or we reachin with that one?????

Interesting...

Is it true the first willy wonka movie was basically all unscripted? I remember someone telling me the guy who played willy wonka basically adlibed the entire movie to make everyones expressions and whatnot so realistic.

Also mind = blown spacey not wanting to be credited at the beginning of Se7en because he knew everyone would assume what character he would be.

 

[servechilled81]

Who I'm gonna call now when there's something strange in the neighborhood?

 

[mronegative]

Animal House, Caddyshack, Vacation, Groundhog Day and Ghostbusters put him way up there.

 

[lawdog1]

RIP, Mr. Ramis. Ghostbusters has been one of my favorite movies since I was a kid and still is. Shame they couldn't get the 3rd one together before Ramis passed. I don't want them to do it now without him.

 

[japanair21]

Extremely saddened to hear about Ramis passing.

I hope they never touch Ghostbusters now. |I

Even though we haven't seen a trailer yet, Sony picture has green lit a sequel for Antoine Fuqua's The Equalizer (based on the 80s show) starring Denzel. The only piece of media released so far is the pic below.

A website called The Wrap recently posted that test audiences loved the flick going so far as saying it's " been testing through the roof". The film also stars Chloe Grace Moretz, Melissa Leo, Bill Pullman, Haley Bennett, David Harbour, & Marton Csokas.
